'Twas a Happy Wednesday for me!
My 7th Stitch Fix arrived and was waiting for me when I get home.
I waited longer than usual for this one, so I was particularly excited.
Look at the beauty of it:
I wrote in my last note to Stitch Fix that I wanted the same stylist I had last time, when my fix was a 5/5 keeper. And, they listened! I also said I'd like a nice fall sweater, and a nice pair of dress pants for work...preferably red. And, my stylist (Sam) listened. In fact, here is her note to me:
She referenced my Pinterest board and my request for red pants.
This is why I love her.
Confession time:
I was added to a Stitch Fix B/S/T board on FaceBook.
The ladies on the board buy, sell, and trade pieces they receive from Stitch Fix.
I learned from this board that you can sneak peek your box before you get it, once it has shipped.
You simply go in and act as if you are going to "check out", and it has listed all your items.
Now, you don't get to see patterns or colors...just the designer and name of the piece.
You can google it, but it's not exact.
So I snuck a peek, and I knew in advance it wasn't going to be a 5/5-er.
The one thing I was excited about was the Emers (pants).
On the B/S/T board, everyone has been raving about how comfy they are.
Like yoga pant comfortable...but you wear them to work.
So when I saw I had Emers on the way, I.COULDN'T.WAIT.
*Sidenote* I'll never "cheat" again and sneak peek. It ruined a lot of the fun of the process.
Here are the styling cards:
(which, again, are of no use to me)
Here's the price list of each item:
Yep, expensive fix. I knew regardless of how things fit, I wasn't keeping everything.
I had a $25 credit going in to this fix from a previous referral.
You see, if you use my referral link, I get $25 toward my next fix.
My referral link is:
And...when you sign up and LOVE it...
you can get referrals and credits, too!!!
So here's the show:
Item One is the Kensie Blazer:
I do love blazers. But the last blazer I got and kept was blue. And this is blue.
The last blazer had a nice pattern, this was plain. It was also slightly larger than I'd choose for myself.
This one is a return.
Item Two is the 41Hawthorne Blouse:
So I didn't hate it. I actually like the color for fall.
Not a fan of the "Studs" - not really my style.
The shirt fit very well, but it is almost exactly like two other shirts I've received from Stitch Fix and kept. So for that reason:
This one is a return.
(AND REMEMBER, WE'RE NOT JUDGING THE CLEANLINESS OF MY BATHROOM)
Item Three is the Market & Spruce Dolman Top:
I love a Dolman. But, this one is way too big.
And it's blue. Blue #2.
This one is a return.
Item Four is the Margaret M Emers:
Sorry for the bad photo quality.
They were super comfy. But...
I wasn't in love. And to keep a $98 pair of pants, you have to be in love.
The pattern/texture wasn't quite right.
And I was wanting more RED than burgundy.
This one is a return.
Item Five is the RD Style Pullover Sweater:
When I first looked at it, I didn't even want to try it on.
Again, blue. Blue #3.
But I tried it on, really liked the length and fit.
I don't have anything like it in my closet.
I didn't want to lose my styling fee.
So this is my one keep.
At $68 with a $25 credit, this fix cost me $43.
Not bad, although I'm sure I could find a similar sweater cheaper somewhere else.
Not trying to discourage you from trying a fix at all.
This is my 7th, and only 2 of my fixes (this included) have been disappointing.
I don't blame the disappointment on my stylist. At all.
I never told her to stop sending blue/navy pieces.
She has seen what I've kept in the past and tried to send similar items.
I get it.
After checking out, and returning items #1-4...
I gave a lot of feedback to my stylist on sizing and colors and whatnot.
I also redid a few things on my style profile.
I stated: NO MORE NAVY.
I also went on my Pinterest board and pulled down some pins that I didn't want emulated in a future fix.
I'll still request Sam next time. I like her. She gets me.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
My next fix is scheduled to arrive on December 24th.
An early Christmas gift to myself :)
So if you sign up and schedule a fix,
you'll pretty much be giving me a Christmas gift, too.
*wink wink*
Thanks and Good Night!
